Department Philosophy

The Department of Sciences, Mathematics and Business at Pearl River
Community College has two primary missions. The first of these is to
provide courses to support the programs of study in other academic
departments and in the technical division of the college. The second
mission is to offer essentially half of the requirements for a
bachelor's degree with a major emphasis in biology, business
administration, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics,
engineering, or engineering technology.

Because of the diversity of the department mission, a variety of course
levels are offered in each discipline. These courses can be used to
satisfy the core requirements for all majors and include special course
offerings for elementary education.
